Canmore is a town in Alberta, Canada, located in the Bow Valley with a permanent population of 11,442 (2005 municipal census). The non-permanent population is about 3,790 or 29% (combined population of 15,232). It is located just east of the world-famous Banff National Park, about 110 kilometres (70 mi) west of Calgary and immediately north of Kananaskis Country. The town lies in the Bow Valley, named so for the Bow River that passes through it. Its mountain setting is noted for The Three Sisters. Canmore's climate is relatively mild compared to most regions of Canada, with the coldest day in January averaging only −8 °C (18 °F), with very low humidity that makes it feel considerably warmer than the thermometer indicates. Summers are short and cool, and winters are long but usually sunny and dry. The area boasts, on average, 330 days of sunshine annually, with the short wet season occurring through mid-May to early June. The rest of the summer is considered semi-arid.
Mountains located adjacent to and visible from the townsite are Grotto Mountain (2,706 m / 8,878 ft), Mount Lady Macdonald (2,606 m / 8,550 ft), Mount Lawrence Grassi (2,685 m / 8,809 ft) and, most famously, the Three Sisters (2,936 m, 2,769 m, 2,694 m or 9,633 ft, 9,084 ft, 8,839 ft).

Climbed the backside of Banff National Park to film Rocky Mountain Big Horn Sheep. 20 below zero at times and we lived in tents! I love my job! Filming didn't go so well but it was a great experience. Alberta is beautiful.

Spent some time today trying to figure out when and where we will be as our trip progresses, so as we can give fair warning to our family and friends who we shall be staying with. Posted the findings on a yahoo web calendar.

Canmore, Canada -› Lake Louise, Canada -› ...
When I graduated I wanted to see more of Canada so I went Outwest Twice actually. Once right after I graduated in Spring and another time in the fall to go visit my sister and stayed at the Chateau Lake Louise where she was working. I did a lot of day trips hiking. Shared some memories with my family which is important to me and had a wonderful experience. I would definately go back.
